Thanks to Owen Murphy from National Parks and Wildlife Services for his great presentation to the children today on the Curlew Conservation Programme. We learned a great deal, for example:
- there has been a 97% decline in curlew numbers since the 1980s
- the curlew habitat is disappearing
- the National Parks and Wildlife Curlew Conservation programme was set up in 2017 to help save the curlew
- their focus is on increasing awareness, acquiring knowledge and introducing many actions on the ground
- the curlew habitat is disappearing unfortunately
- the National Parks and Wildlife Services work hard to protect the curlews habitats, find the curlews, track them, locate and protect their nests
